Most people can remember when VHS moved over and made room for DVDs. Today, all the buzz is about Blu-ray movies and Blu-ray players. But what’s great about a Blu-ray?

For one, a Blu-ray disc can hold about 10 times more data than a standard DVD disc, which is great for high-definition videos and behind-the-scenes extras. The name itself, Blu-ray, comes from the blue laser used in the player to read the disc. Standard DVD players read information with a red laser, which has a longer wavelength and takes longer to read information stored on the DVD.

For a short time, Blu-ray discs were competing with HD (high-definition) DVD discs, but now most major movie studios, movie rental companies and even makers of Sony’s Playstation 3 have announced they will only be producing Blu-ray discs, simply because a higher quality picture can be placed on the disc, as well as more content in general.

At ImportAdvantage, however, it does not matter if you have Blu-ray player, a DVD player, or even a VHS

Contrast ratio is an important part of the picture quality on your LCD TV. In short, the contrast ratio is the difference between the brightest and darkest elements you can view on your LCD TV screen. The higher the ratio, the broader the viewing spectrum and supposedly the better the picture.

In reality, though, TV manufacturers measure their contrast ratios in various ways, so it is difficult to translate how a specific contrast ratio will look on any particular LCD TV screen. The best way to decide which LCD TV looks best with a given contrast ratio is simply to view the screen with a wide variety of dark and light pictures.

However, contrast ratios do play an important part in picture quality, and they can range from 500:1 (which is what print looks like on a movie theatre screen) or now even 1,000,000:1! Some say the human eye can only process a contrast ratio up to 40,000:1 on a bright sunny day, so having a greater contrast ratio is pointless. Find out for yourself, but don’t let

It seems that nearly every year, every fiscal quarter, a major shipper (USPS, FedEx, UPS) is raising rates and tacking on an extra surcharge for fuel or weather or some other non-apparent reason. Shipping costs are important factors for savvy shoppers. In fact, 43 percent of shoppers say they changed their minds at an online checkout due to shipping costs. ImportAdvantage has been making the decision easy for shoppers who are looking for fine TV lift cabinets, as they offer free shipping on all orders, from TV lift mechanisms and foot of the bed TV lifts, to their signature TV lift cabinets.

At the beginning of 2010, UPS increased its ground shipping rates nearly 5 percent, bumped its Delivery Area surcharge from $.10 to $.50 and even created a special “Handling” charge for all packages for $.50.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) just announced plans in July to raise prices again in 2011 for stamps, flat packages and parcels. Stamps will jump up to $.46 each if the plan goes through.
